Here I am, working, eating Ethiopian food for lunch, and listening to Autolux. ("This is the part of the job I hate...."I'm glad that there's still a lot of music out there that I enjoy. [BRAGGING:] When you have as many MP3s as I do... you start to wonder if there's anything out there that amounts to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Thanks ( Read more... )

Anthony visited us tonight. We watched the pilot of The Office, which was, to paraphrase Sean Shreve, "pretty good -- for you." (Where "you" refers to TV sitcoms.)

He also brought over the new Classic Albums - Nevermind DVD. It was the feelgood hit of the summer. I liked the parts where Butch Vig played tracks from the master tapes, and showed ( Read more... )

Rosemary gets a lot of books, tapes, and videos from the library for the kids. One of her more recent finds was Hap Palmer's Singing Multiplication Tables on cassette. Most of you may not find this significant, but wait until you hear this selection, "The Threes."

It seems that Rosemary has food poisoning. :(

I've been taking care of her all night, but she doesn't seem to be feeling much better. It doesn't look like I'll be going into work tomorrow. I hope she feels better in the morning.

I knew I couldn't keep up the daily LJ posts. Ah, well. I'll still try for several times a week.

Rosemary left over the weekend, so I got to watch little Cheepy. He was a very nice boy the whole time. We went over to Josh's parents' new house on Saturday. Everyone loved Cheepy. And my enchiladas, too! (Let me ask again, are you sure you ( Read more... )

I haven't been updating recently. To "make it up to you," I'll recap the last few days. Let's see.

On Wednesday, Andrea visited us. I also made some really good enchiladas. (With homemade tortillas, have course.) Rosemary made her world-famous* chocolate cakeOn Thursday, I was really tired from having "stayn" up so late the night before. I ( Read more... )

Jamming was enjoyable last night. We wrote and performed a very Phillips-esque song, but didn't get around to recording it. We took a brief break and watched some Mr. Show as well. A good time was had by all.

Here's something cool I just installed on the ol' bobbymcr.com server!

We bought some trees again today. We might take them back since I guess they can't have sex with each other (or "cross-pollinate" if you're a scientist).

I get to drive myself to work tomorrow due to jamming circumstances. This means I'll be away from the family for a long time. :(The bread machine has come out of retirement. I need to be ( Read more... )
